Milan’s Via Montenapoleone jumped a spot into second, displacing Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui (China), which slipped to third. New Bond Street in London and the Avenues des Champs-Élysées in Paris retained fourth and fifth positions, respectively.
The biggest mover was Istiklal Street in Istanbul, which rose from 31st to 20th position in response to inflation which caused rents to more than double over the past year, and forced Kuala Lumpur’s Suria KLCC out of the top 20.
